David William Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

Bro, You'Re Back

You're back in our lives, my brother…
I am relieved, yet grieved like no other
Darkness took you away from me cruelly
Now, the light led you back to life thankfully

You were extremely lost, alone and cold in the streets of oblivion
The shadows were comforting you to sleep...while we weep
Your reflection has changed suddenly and you had nowhere to run 
Who knows what will happen next if you were still left behind in the deep

I bet you were beyond lonely, jaded and grief-stricken 
In your hardship of turmoil and anguish
Regret and bitterness filled your days, still left unspoken 
You were ensnared like a thousand fish

I don't want to feel the aches and pains you went through
I do want to fix your scars and let your wings shine anew
I want the best for you and I'm sorry for your past that you and I can't undo
I need you to know that you are stronger than you realize and that's true

You're on the right track, my older bro
You are stronger than you'll ever know
I tried to look up to you when you did right
But, you did me wrong with all your might

I will always forgive you no matter what...no matter what,
Even if past sorrows allow my happiness to be sealed shut
You are going to walk the pathway of peace and that, I can't deny  
So don't lose your grip of hope and faith in the Lord Most High

I can't imagine lying cold on the street floor of lament and shamefulness
I cannot fathom the utter despair and anxiety you felt...I wonder in silence
Break the silence I have been roaming about in for an awful long time
Break the cycle of sorrow and remember there is another tomorrow to shine

Shine bright like sunshine, for everything's going to be alright
Have might and nothing will stop you from taking flight tonight
Thinking of you homeless haunted me day and night and I am not exaggerating 
I still remember the good times we spent on the porch, talking and time-wasting

Somewhere out there, I knew you were going to find help sooner or later
I know that life is unfair, but God will guide us to the narrow pathway I'm sure
I will be right beside you, even when we are far away and even in death, super cool bro Robert
I believe in you, bro, so keep running the race of determination and have courage like an expert

Bro, I am glad you are back in our busy lives again…
Waiting until you and our mother will arrive this lovely November
I remember there were days when we felt like a ten...
Praying that both of us will make it to the Kingdom forever

Bro, I am forever grateful you are back
Rob, don't worry about a thing, so kick back and relax
Know that you are better than a six-pack
I sob because I kept worrying about you to the max

I forgive you and the things you put me through
I let go and let live for the sake of loving you too
Bro, I can't undo the wreckage of the perilous past
But, I'll show you that I'll try to be by your side at last!
